Many people like animals and keep one or more as pets—dogs, cats and some kinds of birds. If you keep a dog or a cat as a pet, you must know how to look after it. A grown-up(成年) dog needs two meals a day, not more. And it can eat meat, fish, rice and some other things. Dogs like large bones(骨头), but don’t give them chicken bones. Remember to give them much clean water.   A dog should have a clean, dry box for sleeping. Washing it once a week is good for its health. If it is ill, take it to a doctor. A healthy dog will bring you more pleasure.
Be careful when you have chosen a cat. It has two meals a day with some meat or fish. Cats drink a little milk every day. Sometimes give them vegetables to eat. Don’t forget that they need clean water to drink.
Take good care of your pets. They will be your good friends. Maybe they can give you some help when you need.
